To: Stephen James
From: Harriet Tubman

Stephen,

Thank you for your condolences. I know to many, a dog seems like something very trivial, but my dog was all I had left. I think that's probably why I connected with Donna so quickly; because I really have no friends other than her, and my dog - one of which is dead, and the other is well on her way, from what John has told me.

Speaking of John, he seems like an honest man, but is he highly credentialed as a doctor? It seems as though he has given up on Donna, and I find that very difficult to stomach. Is she getting the care she deserves? Anyway, I will re-read your emails, and get you the information you need, but I must plan my dog's funeral first and foremost. I owe it to her memory, to give her a proper burial. Have you ever lost a pet before? It's really tiresome.

To answer your question about traveling to London - that is no problem. As long as I can get my walker on the plane, I can be in London with no problem. This will be my first trip without my dog - so strange.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Additional Thoughts:

Well, there’s no way I am turning down a trip to London! I was really curious to see how Stephen would react to this, because he absolutely does not want me to come to London. One, I promise he’s not in London. And going to London would waste time for Stephen, which costs him money.
